Chapter 105: Prepare for the Worst

He didn't know exactly what would happen next year, but what was revealed from Yuan Niang's words should be a lot of rain.

Otherwise, it would not be good to mention the dam, let alone the intention of rebuilding the dam.

It's just that when he thinks about the current climate, he can't help but wonder if it will be like the synopsis of the story in his book.

First the drought, then the rain.

After all, there is an old saying that after a great drought, there must be a great flood, and now he just wants to prevent it first.

Even if there is no major drought, just a simple flood, it is not bad for this water.

Now it's time to save the snow water, but there's still a buffering process.

If you put the water there, even if you don't use it every day, it will be a little less than the day before.

Not to mention that it is such a large pond, and it will take several months.

By the time there is a real rain, there may not be much water left in the pond.

But for now, it's just a matter of digging a pond first, and try to have two or three in every village.

As long as the child is prevented from falling overboard, everything is easy to say.

The water from the pond can not only be used for irrigation, but also for raising fish and ducks and lotus roots.

These will wait until the end of the next year, and if they are sold, they will have a lot of income.

As for the flood, he will think about it when the time comes, and see how to solve it.

Looking at "Chinese Zhou Yuxia" [Yu Zhishui], it can be concluded that blocking is better than dredging, and dredging is better than shrinking.

Or it is better to block and suppress it, than to guide it.

The most effective way is to divert more water and divert the water from the Liuyun River to other places.

It's just that Liuyun County is downstream, and if there is a heavy rainstorm, and the rain is heavy and lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be flooded.

This grooming must start from the upstream Liufeng County......

Xie Yanzhi thought a lot, knew that there were some things that should not be said outside now, and he also knew that he couldn't become fat by eating one bite, so he had to come step by step.

Anyway, as long as you prepare for the worst, then no matter how bad things are, they won't be much worse.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the snow storm and cold wave, and by the way, store water for the next year.

Therefore, he continued to answer the words of Master Fang and Master Chen.

"When the land is frozen, as long as there are many people, each person digs a few more shovels a day, and a pond will be dug up when they turn around.

If there is a big pond in the village, it can be saved.

In short, stockpiling water is a must. It's better to dig than after a blizzard, and it's better to freeze the snow. We are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

It's better to work hard and be tired now than to encounter it at the end and be helpless!

It's best to send someone to supervise this matter, and go back to the yamen to investigate.

The Yamen treasury is not enough money, and the adults can find rich families in the county town to fund this money.

It was promised that they would erect a monument at the gate of the county seat at that time, and write on it how many things each government would donate on what year, month, and day.

Of course, the erection of the monument will be done after the snowstorm. At that time, the account book of where each money was spent will be made public. ”

Xie Yanzhi said, thought about it, and added: "Our county government not only needs silver, but also medicinal materials and warm clothes. No matter what they donate, as long as it is good for the people.

Now wait for them to donate money before buying medicinal herbs, it may be too late, it is better to let the merchants who do medicinal herb-related business participate and arrange for them to start contacting first. The sooner the better, and now we are racing against God. ”

"And this time, it is not limited to our Liuyun County, but also in several surrounding counties. Lord Chen, take a look, do you want to contact the adults in other counties to inform you of this matter and report this matter? ”

Master Fang, as Xie Yanzhi's classmate in the county school, was very convinced of him.

Especially since he mentioned earlier that there would be a cold spell, and then they found a number of experienced old farmers, and after discussing it together for a few days, they also confirmed that this was the case.

Now that it was getting colder, they were more and more convinced of him.

Listening to him today, the cold wave started with a blizzard, so they can't afford not to pay attention to it.

This weather has never been recorded in the geography of Liuyun County, which means that it is unprecedented.

Now that it has begun, they should have to be treated with twelve points of spirit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the students feel that Xie Xiucai's words are reasonable. If this disaster comes, it will not only affect our Liuyun County. If we don't say it at that time, our county will take precautions in place, and other places will be affected by disasters, and the boss will inevitably personally inquire about it.

Rather than this, it is better to tell it and then make it clear. There is not much time left for us now, and when we wait for someone to deliver the letter, we will also put in the solution on our side.

Hengzhu has been told, as for whether to do it or not, how to do it, that's their business. At that time, when things really happen, we will be worthy of our conscience, and second, there will be an explanation from above. ”

Lord Chen, Lord Zhao and Lord Xu, after the three of them glanced at each other, they all walked towards the next room.

Xie Yanzhi knew that they needed to discuss, after all, the matter was big, and it was not something that could be solved by opening his mouth and then writing a countermeasure.

Now he is just a showman, and being able to stand here and let everyone listen to him is already a few adults' kindness to him!

At this moment, Xie Yanzhi couldn't wait for time to come to August next year in the blink of an eye.

No matter what the situation is, he is bound to participate in the autumn festival.

Only if you stand tall, your words will be valued by others, and you will have weight!

If he were a lifter and a jinshi today, he would not be standing here, but he would be standing in the prefect's office.

*

Several adults went to discuss the matter, but Master Fang did not follow.

As soon as he saw the people leaving, he looked at Xie Yanzhi and asked, "Shao'an, it just so happens that there is no labor this year, do you think it is feasible to let the people dig ponds to do labor on their behalf?" How many are dug in each village, and how big? And these ordinary people in the county town, in what form do they serve as labor? ”

Xie Yanzhi, the word Shao'an, Master Fang, as his former classmate in the county school, naturally called him by the table.

"Didn't Brother Ziping say some time ago that the adults were worried about the renovation of the house in the coming year? Isn't the opportunity right now? It's a cold day, and it's impossible for the people in the city to dig a pond or a moat outside the city, right? ”

When Master Fang heard that he had taken the opportunity to repair the number house, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The county number house has to be used every year, because there are many students who participate in the county examination, so the Liuyun County number house is as high as hundreds.

At present, there are signs of dilapidation, and Lord Chen is worried about how to solve this matter because there is not much money in the treasury in the yazhong.

If you take the opportunity to let the people repair it, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

In this way, the money for labor and the money for the wooden purlins are saved, and at most the silver for bricks and tiles is spent.

"The main thing in repairing the house is to replace the wooden purlins and bricks, and you can't let everyone repair them.

For example, the wooden purlin needs someone to cut down the tree, and we have always used fir and locust wood, and when the time comes, let people cut these, and everyone will hand in a few trees that are more than ten years old.

The repairers also come in shifts. In this way, they will have time to renovate and consolidate their house......"
